I Was Sleeved On The 27Th Of June And Yesterday I Found Out I Have A Hiatel Hernia



Recommended Posts

I had this burning sensation and it felt as if my ribs were being punched by my stomach. So i went to the kaiser ER in Irvine and they found out 10 minutes after mt CT scan that I have a Hiatel Hernia. I am a little scared of whats to come next and wondered if any of you have advice for me or have experienced this or any complications. I followed the liguid stage almost perfectly but never over ate. I am now on the soft foods stage and it is really strange to go through.

I'd be interested to find out what the doctor decides to do for you. I'm going thru a similar predicament. I had a hiatial hernia repair at the time of surgery and have developed major burning and acid reflux again at 11 weeks out. They did an xray and a barium swallow and said it looks like my sleeve is narrowning when I went in on Friday but I'm scheduled for a follow up EGD on August 10th.

I was also sleeved on the 27th. My doc found my hiatal hernia during my endoscopy before surgery, so it was fixed during surgery. No problems with it. Be ure to update us on what the dic s going to go. I hope you dot have to go through another surgery.

Mine was repaired during surgery. Hiatal hernias are not typically repaired unless they are really big.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
